(THE RIDDLER)

Oh man, I don’t know why, but when I first covered his album with ‘Blue Hill’, I was like, ‘Nice, can’t wait to hear from him for a while.’ I didn’t expect him to be on such a ridiculous run like he is now! It’s got me so happy and hyped because he’s one of the most unique producers out right now, and alongside this underground legend, this has ‘BANGER’ written all over it! Let’s talk about it! This is the brand-new single by MC ANKHLEJOHN and producer WHOA1.0, and together they drop this solid 2 minutes and 45 seconds that is eligible to get you bopping your head, mean-mugging the world, everything, and more! This shit is the TRUTH! Starting with the production side of things, we have WHOA1.0 back on his muddy boom-bap shit! We have this unforgivable beat that is sure to slap you in the face if you ain’t ready to handle it! You’ve got those haunting chord progressions that sound like vocal harmonies in a dark choir style! Super eerie. Accompanying this, we have some hypnotic drum patterns and sickening bass that’s as heavy as I’ve heard it! This ain’t an instrumental for the weak; it’s dirty, raw, and absolutely mesmerising! I was at work writing this review, and I automatically started mean-mugging my lunch room while bopping my head! It was absolutely insane. Speaking of absolutely insane, we have ANKHLE JOHN, who has been an icon in the culture for years now, and he’s back to show these new cats just who the fuck he is and why he’s so notorious! Across this single, we have him on tough, freelance style that is as unpredictable as it’s ever been and as sharp too! He ain’t worried about keeping track with the beat; his words and punchlines will go wherever they want, and he lays down witty puns and one-liners like explosive clockwork on the beat! He doesn’t waste a single second of this almost 3-minute beat. He’s out for blood; he uses his verbal dominance to lay his bars, let his insane charisma leak onto the track, and his skilled pen game speaks for itself! He’s the kind of guy that doesn’t need a feature to keep interest. He’s more than enough aura and talent to hold it down, and this track proves it! I really hope this is a teaser for an upcoming album because I’m sure that will be nothing short of iconic! Make sure you go listen to it down below and support both artists!
